Recent changes (September 2024)

This release fixes a few coding errors. All changes are documented in detail in the change log. Below is a summary:

• The median party on the second policy dimension was incorrect for some elections in Western Europe and Croatia.
• A few parties were incorrectly coded as having seats in parliament that belonged to other parties.
• The potential government dataset incorrectly included potential governments including parties represented only in the upper house for some bicameral systems, resulting in a bloated data set with a large number of empty rows.
